Abstract

The archaeological resources on Greenwood Plantation are varied and interesting. These range from Early Archaic lithic sites to early 20`x' century trash dumps. The latter is associated with an elite plantation that spanned more than 150 years. In the time that has lapsed since the fieldwork for this study was conducted the Greenwood Plantation has experienced a change of management. The Nature Conservancy is no longer charged with managing the plantation's resources. The archaeological resources identified by the present study are intended to provide the present and future stewards of the Greenwood Plantation, whomever they may be, with baseline knowledge of the archaeological resources contained on the property.
